So much sadness in such a short poem. It's amazing how you captured so much in just a few lines. I think the commas at the end of the 2nd and 3rd lines work well here. Very nice work.

This is so lovely. Thank you for sharing. It will be one year this Wednesday since my husband passed away. In a few brief lines you've caught the emotion of the loss. Marilyn

Fourteen words that say so much more. Wanting to be with him so much that you keep his jacket nearby so as to remember him.
Well done with this. Best of luck.

Comment from Sandra Elizabeth Williams
Hi, I would love to give a higher rate because the poem is a good one; however you are one word short of the required 15 words mark.
I will be happy review again.

Thanks for the review. Actually, the prompt said 15 words or less. Cheers, judester

OK...it says not more than 15 so the interoretation is the same. I was going to give you 4 stars but decided to give you the intended 5. So it works out.

This short poem, Essence of Him, defines a length of time when the item treasured as a touchstone to memory becomes a simple coat, no longer possessed by the scent of life.
